Abstract

'Fair' Bursík and 'unfair' Železný in Questions of Václav Moravec

Participating in a TV political debate not only offers the opportunity to present information, opinions etc., but it also gives the participants a chance to present themselves and others. Such a self- and other-presentation is firmly based on the social norms and moral order of a society. We can, therefore, understand what is going on in TV debates (or in any talk-in-interaction) only because we are familiar with such norms and order. However, this familiarity might not be conscious knowledge. Hence a detailed description of a TV debate (or any talk-in-interaction, or, in fact, any Member’s interaction) can help us to gain a better understanding of the norms and moral order in our society. Describing communicative practices of two politicians involved in one particular TV debate by means of ethnomethodological conversation analysis, I point out just how their self- and other-presentation is rooted in our moral order and social norms including the norms of the TV debate and in which particular ones.
